The Hielander has been in care for 28 days now. He is progressing slowly. He does his own physiotherapy feeding himself and moving around the cage.
He's now a juvenile not a baby. He really been juvie since he came into care but I thought of him as a baby.
Babies are 0-3 months. Juveniles 3-6 months. Subadult 6-18 months. The Hielander is 17 weeks old
You can see he's interacting with the other juveniles in the video - it's more running around with them or from them, but when he went into the aviary first he parked himself next to the biggest and most territorial male and just helped himself to his space and his food. Sargie recognised that he was still a baby and let him hang out.
Now the Hielander is more confident and has sussed out the situation, he's interacting more and staking out his own space.
As with the other Hielander videos I have disabled comments. Sorry about that all you genuine people - I just don't need the armchair mafia's pressure and expectations voiced to me as what I should be doing.
